Officials in Arizona’s Maricopa County say counting ballots could take up to 13 days

DAILY WIRE

Maricopa County, Arizona, election officials asked voters to be patient with them, saying on Tuesday that it could take nearly two weeks to “complete tabulation of all the ballots that come in.”

As of this week, around 400,000 voters in Maricopa County have voted early of the estimated 2.1 million people in the county expected to cast a ballot in the 2024 election, 12 News reported. The county’s election officials said that the length of this year’s ballot, combined with what’s expected to be a large turnout, will slow down the count. In Maricopa County, ballots are two pages long with an average of 79 contests per ballot.

“We do expect that it will take between 10 and 13 days to complete tabulation of all of the ballots that come in, but we ask for the community’s patience,” Deputy Elections Director Jennifer Liewer said. “We want to make sure that this is a secure process, but we also want to make sure that it is an accurate process.”
